I'm currently off work at the moment with a slipped disc and was feeling sorry for myself but your vids really cheered me up. Your so happy unboxing your goody's, it reminded me of my childhood in the 70s, a much more carefree time. Thank you so much for making me smile.
I had all of the Airfix soldiers back in the 70's, loved them. Still have them today. I sometimes think about having a go at painting them. Just found your channel, great stuff
Me too. Still have thousands of Airfix, Esci, Italeri, Revell (OO/HO , 1/76) from 1960s onwards. Mostly Napoleonic. As retirement looms, I'm getting ready to do some serious painting!
I'm a 70s kid myself and remember all this stuff or something very similar. Had some of the Britains knights and my friend had the Sherwood castle. Thanks for the ride on the time machine!
Wow you said about those knights. I had 1 and a cardboard castle my Mum bought between my brother and me. I would never have remembered that if you didn’t mention the make of the knights. Thank you
I loved those submarines, I think I also had a clockwork or battery one that went in circles. I remember grandad playing with me and telling me he had a toy submarine when he was a boy, and he was born in 1887! He said he lost his in the river :) Those transfer sets were great too
A pleasure to see how much you enjoy seeing what you've ordered--reminds me so much of receiving Mattel toy soldier kits for Christmas in the 60s! Have a great time with the new finds, Jerry!
Had that submarine in the mid 70s. Played in amongst the rock pools when on holiday on the west coast of Scotland. My grandads steradent false teeth tablets worked a treat 😂😂
Neat. I'd completely forgotten about those Timpo 8th Army ... with the crazy flamer. I had the cowboy set and the box for the Prussian infantry ... someone at school sold me the Airfix Romans and Celt sets in that box.
I used to go to that paper shop for my dad on Saturday evening to get the sports edition of the local rag. As a reward he'd give me the cash, once a month to buy those transfers. Just loved them. There was another set that came in books, Patterson Blick Instant Transfers - I still have a ragged copy of the Waterloo one. Always wanted to collect them again.
Thanks Jerry, i love your videos! Glad to see you got some ESCI stuff- thats what i had growing up in the US in the 80s. We had 1/72 scale and ive never seen that larger 1/35 ESCI. Take care buddy!
I like so much your unpacking and unboxing videos 👍❤️. I am 64 years old and they take me back to my happy childhood in the 60s in France when my parents regularly bought me blue Airfix boxes HO with so many different themes. Your way of presenting your acquisitions also takes us back to Christmas evenings with the unwrapping of presents. Thank you very much
@@toysoldiernostalgia I know you do my friend,I'm just having a laugh with it,I enjoy watching your videos and seeing what old toys you uncover, very good 👍👍👍
That is a great haul of nostalia. Surprised the soldier sets have survived so well. The plastic tends to get brittle in my experience, at least with the Airfix soldiers.
Great fun watching your box openings. I remember the Airfix paints when they came in bottles. They were horrible to use! The opening diameter was too small to stir them properly and you always got paint on the brush handle when the jars were close to empty trying to get the paint from the bottom. The tin screw on caps always clogged up with dried paint and the tall thin bottles were too easy to knock over. The gloss colours took about a week to dry for some reason! No wonder they later copied the Humbrol tins. I can't remember ever seeing the Timpo one piece soldiers. My local toy shops only had the Timpo multi-piece brightly coloured figures. I also remember some WW2 soldiers from Crescent Toys coming free in boxes of washing powder!
Those toy soldiers bring memories back. I started getting action man and accessories. Can't beat 60-70's action man though I have modern action man figures. I'd love to get hold of those 1970's Britain soldiers think that's what they were called
I had completely forgotten about Letraset,"Action Transfers"! I loved them, and the great artwork was really evocative. And you could make your own scenes!
Nice things Jerry and love those Letraset transfers. I saw a Space 1999 set (unused) on ebay for something like 130 Euros 😲 blimy my childhood is expensive now lol.
Jerry Amazing you got the Timpo Eighth Army box in great condition that’s rare. Timpo did fantastic Romans. I try and carefully unpack the boxes like you do lol
Oh wow i had forgotten all about action transfers i absolutely loved them as a young boy. Oh my i was truly only thinking about that sub last week i had it and would take in the bath with me.
Even as a Yank, I can tell the Timpo 8th Army standing figure in the beret is supposed to be Field Marshal Montgomery. It’s not a bad likeness at all, for a toy soldier.
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Such a grand way to start a Friday. Thank you for making me smile. The only set I have not hunted down is the Checkpoint. I didn't see the appeal of it as a child... but now I want one to complete the set. Lovely stuff. Cheers.
Some great nostalgia items in this haul - rub down transfer sets (someone needs to do a book on these) and the submarine - plenty of room in the bath when you were a kid - not so much now! The Kitmaster book looks interesting also - does it have any info on the Fireball XL5 and Stingray ice cream premium kits?
hi Jerry great video I've got most sets of crescent you should look at lone star and cherilea Indians, on the crescent band figures i made a simple conversion, i changed the heads from broken Airfix cowboys, then painted them as Confederate bands men
The ESCIs were published at a time I was reduced to reading model kit catalogues. And didn't really came back on the subject. I felt ashamed and embarrassed to buy plastic toy soldiers in stores in the early 90s ... when I had the money to buy them all. They are all worth to mention, as are Revells and Italaries. Sometimes some of them are rereleased in some way and I don't even know ... Also great: the 1:72 Esci hardplastik model kit figures ...
We always pack are kit boxes inside an oversized box and wrap the actual kit in a cardboard sleeve inside ,some of these packages are really bad and could have been avoided
I remember I had the sherwood-castle when I was a kid, and some sets of knights and Robin-Hood figures to go with it. I had lots of fun with it, although I always liked the knights more than Robin Hood and his gang. They were in a yellow plastic that I never liked...
I don't believe you got the kellogs figures. I remember being stuck for opposition for my Airfix french grenadiers so conscripted some of these bandsman as opposition. They lost.
I was born in 1972 my first children where born in 1997...when I started to take them to toy shops I confess I felt sorry for them...and it's worse for kids now
I notice the loose Timpo 8th Army flame throwers flame has snapped off but at least the boxed ones are complete. Also the officer is, I think, Montgomery. Cool unit though.
I like your videos, the box openings are fun. Do you sell as well as buy?? The castle is brilliant, I had this model with the figure sets. Nice to reminisce 😊.
PS I would have loved to be there with you to look at these toys close up and help you sort those and have a beer with you. Drink one for me. Cheers from Australia.👍🍺🍻🇭🇲🦘✌️🙂
@@DavidEast-u7m guess I´m pretty crap following up on that email. Sorry man. I´m good on those figures. Was just a fun to get and see how they look. I´ll probably try to paint a few. Thanks for checking.
I knew someone in the early thousands who used to deal in figures like these. The number of times that Australian customs would cut off the heads of resin figures with no apologies. Obviously looking for drugs.
But I must say all your videos amaze me. You must be spending huge amounts of money on this hobby... Do you have a sponsor or something? Well, you must have a very understanding wife, thats for sure...
I spend a fair bit of money on toys but not much else. I don´t buy lots of clothes, things or eat out. I fix my car myself and just stuff like that to save money. I have my regular job and then I work for the Swedish armed forces a few times a year and that pays fairly well. I get some money from RUclips as they share ad revenue with creators after a certain amount of subscribers and veiws. I also have been collecting other stuff like Lego and Vietnam War gear. So when I need money I sell some of that. Lego is pretty good business. I have a girlfriend that is amazing and just laugh at all my toys. When she is at my place she says it´s like living in a toy shop.
Born on Tyneside in 1960. I loved Action Transfers as a boy. I got my first one, The Vikings aged 9 in 1969. My mother used buy me one every month. We got the large ones for Christmas. I got the Alamo one year. Iv still got many of them. Id be willing trade them with you if you want make an offer.
Another incredible collection of very cool toys most i never had. The Airfix castle is wonderful i believe for the Ho.o scale Robin Hood and Midievel knights . The British 8th Timpo soldiers just great. Love the checkpoint another great for German soldiers i never had. The 1/35 scale Esci Germans are excellent. They look familiar. I may have had those in 1/72 scale and the 1/35 British again look pretty good. The Knights on the green metal stands again i did also have . Vehicles i liked also back in the day. I had classics all gone. I continue to buy alternative kind of toys model Aircraft is my interest and was able to buy one's i never had. Im a Star Wars fan so I've had interest in helmets that's another craze I've gotten myself in to. Seen lots of soldiers but have yet to buy any. Wonderful collection you have there. Im very jealous. I always look forward seeing the toy soldiers mostly but slso those castles and other war sets. Excellent.👍🇭🇲🦘✌️
@@toysoldiernostalgia Yes it is very expensive. I have four Stormtrooper helmets one I bought from China made of resin and fibreglass. It was not so costly but was over the $200.+ Price. Three I bought here in Australia but not too bad compared to US and UK. I recently bought the one I really wanted the classic white that has the electronic voice changer. From Disney The Black series. That was a cost of AU $262.00+. I'd love the whole suit but that's out of reach price wise. I'm thinking of making myself but the hard way. I wonder when you do your videos do you then enter it in RUclips and hope it's seen? Is that how it works? If I was able to send directly to you would be good. But I'm still haven't sorted how. Facebook I can't do because of personal reasons as mentioned.👍🇭🇲✌️🦘🐨
Always a joy watching your channel. As a man of 54 years old it's a delightful walk down memory lane.
52 and likewise
57 and likewise. WE LOVE the Airfix "Tarzan Figures" pack !!!
I love the unpacking of figures.. it brings back good childhood times.. 😌
Timpo 8th Army was outstanding had some sets of these when I was young. Plenty of hours of fun back in the day...👍🏻
I'm currently off work at the moment with a slipped disc and was feeling sorry for myself but your vids really cheered me up. Your so happy unboxing your goody's, it reminded me of my childhood in the 70s, a much more carefree time.

Oh my God, massive flashback to 70's because of Action Transfers! Loved these as a kid. 59 now. Greetings from Texas 🤠
Wow so you had Action Transfers in the US as well? Wait maybe the company that made them (Letraset) was american.
A pleasure to see how much you enjoy seeing what you've ordered--reminds me so much of receiving Mattel toy soldier kits for Christmas in the 60s! Have a great time with the new finds, Jerry!
The box art for the Airfix Sherwood castle is just so beautiful.. Just Wow !
Thanks this video took me back to the early to mid 1970's to my childhood especially the first soldiers you unboxed
omg. i had the action transfers, i was born in the 70's. you brought back alot of memories i had forgotten.
Fantastic, love you channel - a real nostalgia trip and your amazing enthusiasm, thanks
Thanks man!
I used to love Action Transfers. I used to put them on the front of my school books, much to the annoyance of my teachers!
Great job as always…thanks for sharing. I truly enjoyed your videos and this incredible community 😊
Thanks man!
OMG I had forgotten about ‘action transfers’, I just got a serious childhood flashback!
They are sooo cool.
That sherwood castle is really something .I..had the foreign legion fort ..hours of fun ! 😄
Always great to see you unpacking your packages.The anticipation and the reveal.Great stuff.Thanks for sharing.👍🏴🇬🇧
Thanks for watching :)
I had the castle and Britains knights when I was young. Wish I still had them.
I loved action transfers when I was a kid 😁
Had that submarine in the mid 70s. Played in amongst the rock pools when on holiday on the west coast of Scotland. My grandads steradent false teeth tablets worked a treat 😂😂
That´s realy funny :)
Action Transfers wow that takes me back to happy times
I used to spend my pocket money on them. Beautiful. 😊
Neat. I'd completely forgotten about those Timpo 8th Army ... with the crazy flamer. I had the cowboy set and the box for the Prussian infantry ... someone at school sold me the Airfix Romans and Celt sets in that box.
Your enthusiasm is contagious...Thanks for the upload!
@@patrickmuhwheeney6518 thanks man 😀
With the Airfix Frontier Checkpoint set you can create a diorama on the theme of the film The Great Escape with Steve McQueen 😉
I have to check that out. Long time since I saw that movie.
I had the submarine as a child. Always remembered the tablets being like a effervescent tablet
Action Transfers! My grandma would come over to see us every Wednesday and bring us one of those each! Thank you for that memory 😁👍🏻👍🏻
I used to go to that paper shop for my dad on Saturday evening to get the sports edition of the local rag. As a reward he'd give me the cash, once a month to buy those transfers. Just loved them.

It seem like Esci was real big in the US back then. Lots of auctions on Ebay from the US with Esci.
The toys - hobbies educational & informed about history. Realism & accuracy important. It made shopping, buying , collecting an adventure.
Another nice haul, Mr Gerry!!

I had completely forgotten about Letraset,"Action Transfers"! I loved them, and the great artwork was really evocative. And you could make your own scenes!
I remember the castle, it is like Christmas day for you
JERRY, I enjoyed this video! Can you imagine if we got all of this for Christmas back in the day? Wonderful!
I enjoy your videos as well. I see you passed 1 000 subscribers.
@toysoldiernostalgia you made my day!
Nice things Jerry and love those Letraset transfers. I saw a Space 1999 set (unused) on ebay for something like 130 Euros 😲 blimy my childhood is expensive now lol.
Jerry Amazing you got the Timpo Eighth Army box in great condition that’s rare. Timpo did fantastic Romans. I try and carefully unpack the boxes like you do lol
It´s kinda hard to find but Timpos Footballers are the real rare ones.
I hadn't heard of Timpo. Where were they made?
The Eighth Army box said Shotts, Scotland.
Airfix factory was Hull in England.
Ohhhh, the 8th army flamethrower ❤
Top video as always, just got some of the timpo 8th Army myself 😊
You like them?
@@toysoldiernostalgia yes, they have a quirkiness about them, adds some more variety to my 8th army
Timpo 8th Army, Never saw some 😳, Thanks, Dieter and Ben
Britains deetail are great , enamel paints nobody uses these days , we all use acrylic paints , great video
I use enamels just because it´s a lot more satisfying painting old scholl paint jobs with them.
It was the shipping box. That is a cool sub. Use get those in cereal box . Baking soda would create sinking and diving action.
Oh wow i had forgotten all about action transfers i absolutely loved them as a young boy. Oh my i was truly only thinking about that sub last week i had it and would take in the bath with me.
I lost mine at the outdoor swimming pool years ago, along with my brothers deep sea diver actin man

Im going to enjoy this, thank you.....nice to be in early
i just got the esci german infantry a couple months ago....i never saw these in stores when i was a kid, only 1/72 scale esci
Love how the German soldiers so loved their potato meals they brought the mashers with them where ever they went.

They were in green in France ! 😂 The Sherwood Castle is incredible !!!
@@pierrecremer108 Good for you. Im sure I would have liked them better in that color. So wich ones did you prefer?

Nice 👍
Heyyyy! I'm venezia europe for a few days back home!
Like the Airfix counterpart the German Officer has a Walther P38 pistol
The backpack was a flamethrower, the officer was Montgomery.
Rosebud kit master was bought by airfix but a lot of the molds were sold to Dapol who still produces them in the UK
I´m gonna deep dive in to this topic now I have the book. Love books :)
I remember my Gran buying me that submarine as a kid , no matter what we tried , it would just sink to the bottom of the bath and stay there🤨 ! Lol
Lol that´s kinda sad. I´m not getting my hopes up for it to work as intended.
Probably make a good fish tank ornament though 😂👍

You're lucky to have a toy shop in town at all these days.
The hotrod tractor is an odd one, I noticed that the tractor has what looks like moveable gear shift.
I´m gonna have to have a look at that :)
I notice the loose Timpo 8th Army flame throwers flame has snapped off but at least the boxed ones are complete.
Also the officer is, I think, Montgomery.
Cool unit though.
I´m gonna have to have a closer look this weekend.
I never saw esci 1/35 germans..I had the 1/72 good set
Just kinda found out about them recently. Realy cool.
I like your videos, the box openings are fun. Do you sell as well as buy?? The castle is brilliant, I had this model with the figure sets. Nice to reminisce 😊.
SELL?? What a strange word ;)
The 8th army guy has a Thomson machine gun.
@16:50 Looks like a flame thrower, you have one there with flames coming out too
I think you´re right :)
Water filled jacket on the Vickers machine gun
That´s what I thought.
I had the WW1 action transfers also the Romans
I think I had one with Gladiators.
timpo 8th army is one of my all time favorite sets
It looks realy good so far. Gonna have a closer look this weekend.
@@toysoldiernostalgia box art looks great aswell,
@@olivier3847 it´s pretty darn good :)
still got that tractor somewhere but the trailer didn't ring any bells for me at all

I´m good on those figures. Was just a fun to get and see how they look. I´ll probably try to paint a few.
Thanks for checking.
The officer is Montgomery in the soldiers
hi Jerry timpo also made American G Is plastic solid figures made from lead moulds
Ok never seen those.
I knew someone in the early thousands who used to deal in figures like these. The number of times that Australian customs would cut off the heads of resin figures with no apologies. Obviously looking for drugs.
What they are that ruthless?
I don't think officers wearing caps in battle is very authentic. Were their skulls and brains considered less worth protecting than the other ranks? 😂
Luckily enough these are toy soldiers and making the officer stand out is key.
These hardplastic? Soldiers are timpo?? It seems to me, if mp40 cannot be sculpted in a correct way, its the extremities or pose of its users ...
Timpo did quite a lot of WW2 figures.
Only one set of solids though :)
Did you make a video with the submarine? Testing it? Love your videos :) Cheers from Norway, 51 y.o.
I didn´t find the time yet and now the pool I was gonna use is down for the winter. So I will not do it until spring next year.
